Well, for those of you that have seen the English video of Sephiroth, Yuffie, Aerith, and Leon, what do you think of their voices (I just updated it on the main page for those of you who haven't)?

I think they did a fantastic job, especially with Sephiroth. He isn't so evil to where as it is funny, and it just sounds plain stupid, but it's just right so he still sounds human enough, but he still does have an evil tone lurking. As for Yuffie and Leon, I think they have the same voice actors, so they still sound great. Aerith doesn't sound as well as I'd have hoped, but she sounds good enough, it's not bad, just not great. I'm really excited for this, I was a little worried at first that the voice overs wouldn't be good, but these two videos have put those worries to rest.

EDIT: I almost forgot about Cid! He's...eh....bad. I really don't want to say anything is bad in Kingdom Hearts II simply because of just how awesome it is. But really...they made him sound like a hick, put simply. I mean, I guess it sounds sort of how he might talk, but he wouldn't sound like Forest Gump...

I wish I could give my thoughts about this but sadly, I don't want to spoil anything for me so I'll wait until I buy the game to hear the voice acters.

Well, it's also on kh-vids.net if you want to check that out, too. Be aware though, there are some spoilers in the fourth video listen on that site. Granted, they are very minor spoilers, nothing big at all. But they are still spoilers.

As long as Sephiroth isn't voice acted by Lance Bass then I'm happy.

Heh it is funny haveing a boy band member VOing big bad Sephiroth, but it does make sence if its good and fitting no matter who does it. I dont know about the 2nd one but Aeris was acted by Mandy Moore and Squall was by David Boreanaz, I think he is also in part 2. I think David Borneaz did perfectly as Squall. I hope they give every FF character a profesional celebrity voice acter.

Yeah, I like them.  I think they were pretty good choices, and I'm looking forward to seeing them in action.
